- v SHEEI 3 0F 4 j 5 V I 60 58 I i /58b PATENTEI] FEB] 8 I975 saw u or 41 ROLL-BOXING APPARATUS This invention relates to improvements in rollboxing apparatus and more particularly to improved, highly effective andpractical apparatus for accumulating rolls of coins, tokens and variousother articles of commerce packaged in cylindrical or roll-form wrappersor tubes generally similar to rolls of coins, in multiple verticalrowarrangement, with the vertical rows thereof being formed progressivelyuntil the number of rolls predetermined to be the number to fill a boxhave been so accumulated, and thereupon for pushing, in unison, theso-accumulated rows of rolls from the accumulating means and into a box,carton or like container of a size as to be completely filled thereby.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Although having much broader application,the present apparatus was developed for and hence will be describedhereinafter as applied to the boxing of a predetermined number of coinrolls, i.e. coins of a particular denomination wrapped in roll formeither in paper or plastic wrappers by commercial fully automatic orsemi-automatic wrapping machines, for subsequent storage and/or deliveryof said rolls.

While the patent literature is replete with showings of apparatus forcollecting and arranging in horizontal layers for subsequent boxingthereof, small cylindrical objects or articles of commerce such ascigars, cigarettes, etc., there appears to be a paucity of patentsand/or printed literature dealing expressly with the handling, i.e.accumulating, of coin rolls preliminary to boxing same and thereupondepositing the accumulation of rolls in a box or carton for subsequentstorage and/or delivery thereof. More particularly, only one priorpatent having to do with such coil-roll boxing subject-matter is knownto the present applicant and here again the horizontal layeringprinciple is relied upon; that is to say, horizontal layers of apreselected small number of coin rolls per layer are pushed byrightangularly disposed ram means along right-angular paths of travel,being ultimately deposited in a carton or the like by the action of oneof said ram means. Obviously, such a coinroll boxing apparatus leavesmuch to be desired in terms of practical, dependable, and fast-actingcoil-roll boxing apparatus.

OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION With the above in mind, the present inventioncontemplates and has for an over-riding objective that of providingsimplified, practical and dependable apparatus for boxing rolls ofcoins, tokens, etc., which is characterized by novel roll-accumulatingmeans.

A more specific object of the invention is the provision of coin-rollboxing apparatus which departs from the horizontal roll- (or likecylindrical article) layering principle relied upon by the prior art andinstead accumulates a predetermined number of the rolls to be boxedcoming from a source of supply thereof in oneat-a-time sequence in aplurality of discrete, side-byside vertical rows which are progressivelyformed.

Yet another object of the invention is that of providing coin-rollboxing apparatus of a character enabling ready sight verification of thenumber of coin rolls deposited in a box or carton, thus eliminating thecostly weighing operation heretofore practiced to verify roll count.

Further objects of the invention are those of providing coin-roll boxingapparatus capable of accumulating and boxing coin rolls at exceedinglyhigh speeds, for example, up to 120 rolls per min.; which ischaracterized by its durability and dependability in operation; andwhich additionally is notable for its versatility in handling rolls ofcoins of different denominations.

The above and other objects and advantages of the improved roll-boxingapparatus of the invention will appear from the following detaileddescription, in which reference is had to the accompanying illustrativedrawing figures wherein FIG. I is a front elevation of coin-roll boxingapparatus according to the invention, as viewed from a central, slightlyelevated vantage point;

FIG. 2 is a broken-away perspective view looking onto a preferredroll-supply and gating means which supplies the predetermined number ofrolls to be boxed in one-at-a-time sequence to the roll accumulatingmeans;

. FIG. 3 is a view in top plan of the roll-accumulating means;

FIG. 4 is a side elevation of roll boxing apparatus of the inventionintended to illustrate its versatility in han dling rolls of US. coinsof the different denominations; and

FIG. 5 is a view in top plan of a box filled with the predeterminednumber of coin rolls arranged according to the invention.

Referring to the drawing figures in detail, reference numeral 10, FIGS.1 and 4, generally designates a conveyor trained over horizontallyspaced sprockets l2, 14, one of which illustratively the sprocket 14 ispowered as by an electric motor, the conveyor thus being characterizedby generally horizontal upper and lower runs or flights 10a, 10b.

The conveyor 10 mounts, so as to extend outwardly from and generally atright angles to its outer face or side, a plurality of outwardlyprojecting pins or lugs 16 which are spaced apart a distance slightlygreater than the diameter of the rolls of coin or the like to be boxed,said pins or lugs thus forming with the outer-side surface of theconveyor a plurality of open-mouth pockets which open upwardly for thelength of the upper conveyor flight 10a, generally sidewardly throughoutthe descending arc of the conveyor-length portion traveling over thesprocket l4 and downwardly throughout the length of the lower run orflight 10b of the conveyor.

Disposed directly beneath the aforesaid conveyorsprocket assembly is aroll accumulating means generally designated 20, whose function is toaccumulate preliminary to boxing thereof the exact number of coin rollswhich will fill a box or carton of a particular size arranged in aplurality of discrete vertical rows and with each row containing apreselected small number of the coin rolls and said discrete rows beingprogressively formed by coin rolls falling by gravity from theopen-mouth pockets of the lower flight of the conveyor as the lattertraverses said accumulating means.

Illustratively, the aforesaid roll-accumulating means comprises agenerally horizontally disposed bottom plate 30, generally vertical endplates 32a, 32b afflxed thereto and extending upwardly therefrom, andvertical divider plates 34 also affixed to and extending upwardly fromsaid bottom plate and which serve to divide the space between the endplates 32a, 32b into a preselected number of open-top, side-by-sidedisposed roll-receiving spaces or compartments, each of width as tofreely receive rolls of coins of the particular denomination then beinghandled, and further having vertical height which is substantially equalto the sum of the diameters of a preselected number of coin rolls, forexample five, to be disposed in vertical row formation.

It is also a feature of the improved accumulating means of the inventionthat the height of the aforesaid end and divider plates 32a, 32b and 34is such that'their upper edges extend to and terminate in a common planewhich is spaced downwardly from the plane traversed by the lowermostedges of the pins or lugs 16 of the conveyor lower flight as the lattertraverses the accumulating means, a distance which is appreciably lessthan the diameter of one of the coin rolls then being handled. Sucharrangement and spacing of parts assures that, as each verticalroll-receiving space or compartment is filled by coin rolls depositingtherein by gravity, following coin rolls will be propelled by the pusherpins or lugs 16 to positions overlying the next following spaces orcompartments until they too are progressively filled.

From the description up to this point, it will be appreciated thatresponsive to coin rolls being supplied to the open-mouth pockets of theconveyor, either prior to the latter negotiating the downwardlydescending arcuate path defined by the right-half of the sprocket 14;or, in any case, to the open-mouth pockets of the conveyor lower flightas said flight begins its traversing movement across the accumulatingmeans, said coin rolls will fall by gravity from said pockets andarrange themselves in a plurality of discrete vertical rows in theopen-top compartments of the accumulating means, and further said rowswill be progressively formed until the predetermined number of coinrolls feeding thereto has been exhausted.

Means for supplying the predetermined number of rolls as will completelyfill a carton or box in a controlled, one-at-a-time sequence to theadvancing action of the conveyor and its lugs 16 is provided, suchillustratively comprising a so-called zig-zag hopper 40 to which wrappedrolls are delivered and which in turn feeds said rolls to a star wheel(or turret)-type gating device 46 controlled by a counting circuit whichoperates to feed the predetermined number of rolls to the conveyor.

To insure that said rolls reach the afore described accumulating meanswith their end faces aligned, i.e. disposed in the same vertical plane,upper and lower sets of rod-form side rails 48a, 48b and 50a, 50b,having curvatures corresponding generally to the curvatures of thedescending arcs of the star wheel 46 and the conveyorportion 100 areprovided, the side rails of each said pair being spaced apart laterallyso as to be operable to crowd i.e. shift in axial direction as may berequired, the pocketed rolls as they travel throughout the length ofsaid arcs to lateral positions in which their end faces are insubstantial vertical-plane alignment. Means are also provided for ineffect closing the normally open mouths of the conveyor pockets, therebyguarding against rolls depositing in the higher-level pockets of theupper flight 10a of the conveyor at or near the end of said flight fromprematurely falling or rolling therefrom by gravity, as the conveyormoves throughout the descending-arc portion 100 of its travel.Illustratively said means comprises two or more rods 52 having curvaturecorresponding to that of said descending-arc portion 10c but which arefixed in position just outwardly of the curved path traversed by theoutermost ends or tips of the pocket-forming lugs 16. Said rods 52 alsoserve the important function of directing the pocketed rolls onto afixed, generally horizontally disposed shelf member 54 positioned at alevel as insures that said rolls will deposit in the open-mouth pocketsof the lower conveyor flight 10b.

According to a further feature of the invention. means responding to apredetermined number of rolls known or calculated in advance to be thenumber thereof which will completely fill a box or carton of aparticular size which have accumulated in progressively formed verticalrows in the accumulating means in the manner previously described, isrendered operable automatically to push in unison said rows of rolls indirection of their axes laterally through and from the accumulatingmeans and thence into a carton or box positioned to receive same throughits open top and which further is of a size and depth as to becompletely filled by said accumulation of rolls. More particularly andagain referring to FIG. 3, said means illustratively comprises areciprocable push rod 56 mounting at its forward end a right angularlydisposed cross head 58 shown to be fashioned in two parts 58a, 58b. Themore forward wider cross head part 58b mounts so as to extend forwardlytherefrom a plurality of vertical push blades 62, one for each of thevertical row-forming compartments of the accumulating means and eachterminating in a right-angularly disposed push head 64 having height andwidth substantially equal to the height and width of the saidcompartments. Normally, said push heads 64 extend a small distance intothe spaces between the vertical dividers 34 which define the row-formingcompartments of the accumulating means, and thus they serve ascompartment inner-side walls.

As indicated by the double-headed arrow associated therewith (FIG. 3)the aforesaid rod 56 is poweractuable in forward and reverse directionsby means such as an air cylinder or a linear electric motor (not shown)which is activated responsive to the predetermined number of rollshaving been accumulated in vertical-row arrangement and when soactivated drives the headed push blades 62, 64 in unison throughouttheir forward or working strokes, thereby pushing all rolls of thevertical rows in the direction of their axes laterally through and fromthe accumulating means and into a box or carton B positioned as shown inbroken lines, FIG. 3, through the open top thereof.

As illustratively shown in FIG. 1, the vertical end members 32a, 32b ofthe accumulating means may be extended forwardly well beyond the planeof the forward edges of the vertical dividers 34 of said means, and anextension plate 30a is shown to be affixed to the front edge of theaccumulator base plate 30 so as to project forwardly therefrom, saidextended portions provided as aforesaid serving as guide means for therows of rolls during their axial movement from the accumulating meansinto the box or carton, and also as a means for properly positioningsaid box or carton for the reception of the rows of rolls.

According to another feature which may be incorporated in to coin-rollboxing apparatus of the invention and which imparts a remarkable degreeof versatility thereto in terms of its capability in handling rolls ofcoin of the many different denominations, for example 1, 5, 10, 25,cents etc. in US. coins, roll accumulating and pusher means individualto each denomination and means for interchanging same one for anotherare provided, such in recognition of the fact that, whereas the conveyorand open-mouth pockets thereof have the capability of receiving andadvancing to the accumulating means rolls of coins of all the variousconventional denominations, for maximum effectiveness both saidaccumulating means and the pusher means which operates to push the rowsof rolls axially through and from the same should be tailored so tospeak, i.e. sized as to the width and height of both the compartments ofthe accumulating means and the push heads 64 of the pusher means, to theparticular denomination of the coins of the rolls being handled at anyone time.

More particularly and as diagrammatically illustrated in FIG. 4, anaccumulating means suited to a coin-roll denomination being handled isshown to be demountably suspended from dowels or studs 72, 74 affixed toand projecting outwardly from the end plates 32a, 32b of saidaccumulating means and which project into and fit closely in holes 72a,74a respectively provided in a depending flange 54a formed integral withthe aforementioned shelf member 54 and a corresponding depending flange76a of an adjustable-position angled bracket 76, whose lateral positionis determined by the overall width of the particular accumulating meansthen mounted between the depending flanges 54a, 76a, and in whichlateral position the bracket 76 is temporarily secured to a fixed framepart of the apparatus by means of a cap screw 78 operable along alongitudinal adjustment slot 78a provided in an upwardly extending,short-height bracket flange 82, the said cap screw and slot beingoperable similar to a conventional pin-andslot adjusting means.

Although the invention is not limited to the particular means justdescribed for mounting and demounting the accumulating means withrespect to the conveyor 10.

it is stated that such means has been found to be workable and practicaland that it provides a simple procedure for bodily dcmounting an alreadymounted accumulating means and for substituting therefor an accumulatingmeans suited as to the width and height of its toll receiving andvertical-row forming compartments to the handling of rolls of coin of adifferent denomination than that handled by the accumulating means whichit replaces.

As earlier indicated, the push heads 64 of the pusher means 56-64 formaximum effectiveness should also have height and width as to beoperable through the row-forming compartments of each size ofaccumulating means. To provide for same, it is a further feature of theinvention that the reciprocable push rod 56 is connected to itsactivating means, i.e. linear electric motor, via a type of connectionwhich may be completely disabled when such is desired. Such permits ofthe bodily removal of one pusher means 56-64 and the substitution ofanother better suited and sized as to its push heads 64 to thecompartments of the accumulating means substituted as aforesaid.

To summarize briefly the operation and advantages of roll-boxingapparatus of the invention, rolls of coin, tokens, etc. are supplied inone-at-a-time sequence and in predetermined number calculated to be suchas to completely fill a box or carton of a particular body size anddepth, to the open-mouth pockets of a continuously moving conveyorhaving upper and lower generally horizontal travelling flights. Upon therolls advancing to said lower flight they fall by gravity from saidopen-mouth pockets to accumulating means disposed beneath the conveyor.Said accumulating means is so constructed i.e. compartmented, that itreceives and arranges the rolls falling thereto as aforesaid in asuccession of discrete vertical rows, each of a preselected number ofrolls determined by the height of its compartments. Responsive to thepredetermined number of rolls supplied to the accumulating means havingbeen so deposited and arranged, a pusher means is activated to push allsaid rolls in unison and in the direction of their axes through an openside of the accumulating means and into a box or carton positioned toreceive same through its open top. As indicated above, said box orcarton is of a size and depth as to be completely filled by the rolls ofcoin deposited therein through its open top, and since said rolls arearranged (packed) in the box vertically, their ends are viewable throughthe open top thereof (as in FIG. 5). Accordingly, the number of coinrolls so packed in a box or carton may readily be verified merely bymaking a sight-count of the ends of the rolls.

It is explained that the closure-flap structure of the completely filledbox or carton depicted in FIG. 5 is shown in broken lines, such for thepurpose of indicating that said closure flaps are specially die-cut (asis the roll containing-body portion of said box or carton) to provide ahigh degree ofstrength to the side walls, bottom wall and top of the boxwhen the latter is finally closed.

As explained in the foregoing, the invention also proposes and providesimplementing means whereby rolls of coins, tokens, etc. of the differentdenominations may be accumulated for boxing and boxed as aforesaid, asby bodily demounting a roll accumulating and pushing means suited to onedenomination and the substitution therefor of a roll-accumulating andpushing means better suited to handle i.e. accumulate and box adifferent denomination.
